Should they feel that they were the victim of a criminal offence; the AGCC has recommended they speak to police to consider future actions.

Although the report from the AGCC failed to reference anything concerning the acquisition of Full tilt Poker by funding group Grouped Bernard Tape, it’s still belief that GBT will obtain the internet poker brand and property from the US DOJ  for $80M. With transfer, the US could drop all charges. It remains unknown if players can expect to be refunded confiscated monies, though most are optimistic that when the takeover is completed, owners can make their utmost effort to repay what is owed to US players.

For $200 + $16 up to 81 players at a time can compete in a twice-daily shootout (at 3:30 pm and 9:30 pm ET) with the top prize being a seat in the 2009 World Series of Poker main event. For a varying range of buy-ins and stakes, Full Tilt will also be running 5 weekly WSOP qualifiers, one each on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

There will also be ways to win one of 50 free seats in the 2009 World Series of Poker main event for free, with an ongoing series of daily freerolls. Win a round 1 freeroll and then place in the top two in a round 2 freeroll and you’ll qualify to compete in the Main Event Race Finals Freeroll held each Sunday. A $12,000 WSOP main event prize package will be awarded to the players coming in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each.

And finally, on Sunday, June 21, Full Tilt will be running a one-time only tournament awarding $12,000 main event prize packages to the 150 top finishers. Buy-in is $500 + $35.

Party Poker WSOP Satellites are also running now to give you even more opportunities to qualify for this years Main Event.  Party Poker has slightly different WSOP qualifiers and you can find more about them at this post: Party Poker WSOP.

But not so fast. WPT wouldn’t do that to its fans. Instead, they’ve teamed up with InterPoker, the online poker room of InterCasino. One of the appeals of the Inter Casino family to WPT officials was the VIP sort of treatment that the company’s gaming sites provided to every single player, poker pro or no.

To make this transition as sweeping a success as possible, InterPoker is rolling out a series of brand-new WPT-related promotions, offers, and tournaments.

In addition, the WPT also announced a similar partnership with Full Tilt Poker, another online player favorite.

One other popular gaming software company not mentioned in this article is MicroGaming.  This software company provides great online gaming experiences both at the poker table and online casino tables and slots.  Microgaming Casinos include River Bell, Vegas Joker and Vegas Slot to name a few.

Multi-accounting is a crime that doesn’t only hurt internet poker rooms but internet poker players as well, as it involves one player misrepresenting himself by playing at the same site under two different usernames.

After strong suspicions aroused by Townsend’s opponents, he was eventually pressed to confess to his wrongdoing, that being:
• playing at Full Tilt Poker as “sbrugby” in high-stakes and “Stellarnebula” in low-stakes games
• and playing at PokerStars as “aba20” in high-stakes and “Makersmark66” in low-stakes games

All poker sites forbid such activity, but it’s reasonable to wonder realistic it is to enforce such a policy. Which is why this story is of such interest to all online poker players, because if you don’t think it’s possible for these multi-accounting cheaters to get caught and dealt with, think again.

The series’ biggest money winner, however, was not “dubbeemin” but someone else , “hAAydon”, who took home over $541,000 in the 2-day, $2,500 + $120 buy-in, No Limit Texas Hold’em tournament.
